My son is gone _ he passed away. I wish I could help adult children know how much as parents we love you. We want nothing or No one to hurt you. We can't hold you any more but as parents we forever hold you in our heart and soul. Forever a mom.

@@normanjames4867 do you think its because what people are taught in church about this matter ,not only in church ,my father was a very very hard man ,add a terrible upbringing but their was never hate i was taught if people arnt bothering you dont worry .
There was this dad who I saw on the news who went to LGBT events and held a sign saying that if anyones parents weren't part of their lives, they could come get a hug from a dad who loved them. He said he gave out hundreds of hugs at a single event, and from some of the videos, you could see so many people were so emotional to have a parent to hug them and love them and it was a horrible mixture of heartbreaking that so many people's parents desert them when they realize there is a quality of their child that the parents disapprove of (one that the child has no control over) and heartwarming that this kind man would go to these events and be a parent to total strangers who needed a hug from a parent
True that. My parents tuned out after my big fat straight marriage 35 years ago. I would adore to have a dad like this... he’s so happy, and making everyone laugh & love!
MY SON told me he was gay 6 months ago!! HE was ALWAYS THE MOST loving, caring helpful and supportive person I have ever known!!!!! A mere thought of him warms my heart!!! AND nothing has changed!!!!!!
@@nicoroshan dont be mad at poor Joe. He is probably in the closet and scared to come out and tell everyone that he is actually gay himself. His hate isnt directed towards others as much as it is directed inwards towards himself. Have pity on him, for he feels no love.

@@cathybeller2646 -- Good parenting is not defined by belief in Jesus. That idea, frankly, is ridiculous. Not believing in Jesus does not condemn oneself to eternal damnation. If so, every human born before 1 A.D. would be suffering in Hell. This most certainly is NOT an orthodox Christian belief.
@@cathybeller2646 -- Nope, sorry, wrong again Cathy. My definition of love is the family you see at the wedding above. Just as beautiful as the Wedding at Cana, and I'm sure they had wine too. Indeed, the father who gave the toast is an elder in his Christian church in Texas. And my definition of rudeness, bigotry and hate is YOU quoting Bible verses to this loving family trying to condemn them. You give all Christians a bad name. Please keep your bigotry to yourself.
Just wonderful. I've always remembered a quote from a gay soldier that went like this - "They called me a hero for killing a man , then dismissed me for loving one."
A straight elderly dad stealing the show at a gay wedding, this is a singular event in history. He would have been one hell of a salesman, one justs trusts him instinctively. I'd bet he did a great job as a father, too.

@@FendiYT - If you say that someone is a "natural" at something, you mean that they do something very well and very easily. In this case, the father spoke so eloquently and freely about the subject at hand. I have to say as well that this father used humor well in his speech, which I loved.
What a wonderful man, it seems like this young man had such a great foundation, with loving & supportive parents. This is the best wedding speech I’ve ever heard.
I was admiring the happy couple even as I reached this comment. They look like wonderful people & I wish them all the joy & happiness in the world. Congratulations to you both 😘
I have a gay son, and I can empathise with this man completely. Its not who your son is that matters, its the person he becomes, and my son makes me proud.
@@davidkarr5119 what on earth are you talking about? Love surpasses all. That’s what truly matters in this world. And I cannot imagine a God who feels differently.
This father is truly a loving and kind hearted man. His toast at the end is one of the best wedding toast I have ever heard. God bless him, his family and his son and new son-in-law.
A very moving story that I feel honored to hear. I am a grandfather with a non-binary grandson. I have never had anything but love for him and our family and extended family are very supportive as well. Educating yourself about pronouns and other issues helps understanding like nothing else can. Thanks for sharing!
This is without any doubt the most intelligent and heartwarming example of just how amazing a human can be... the most incredible example of what it means to be a dad... thank you so very much for sharing this with us..
It is just the best wedding speech ever. Period. My husband and I were blessed with such fathers. His has passed. My dad is 92. I wish yours the very best of health and happiness and your mom.
What a wise man and loving father. I wish I had a father like him so loving, accepting, embracing, and supportive. His speech made me laugh and cry at the same time.
Question only? Would he be a loving father, if he loved his child into the pit of hell,? Before you all get crazy mad, think about it first, then answer the question . I can & do love all my children, but I wouldn't be a very loving father or parent to love them right into Hell.🙏🙏🙏
@@davidkarr5119 I am an atheist! I would have a lot to say to show you the evil nature and practices of Abrahamic religions. But I am not going to waist my time with you. Love wins over hate! Science is God, and God is science!!!!!
@@davidkarr5119 only a question for you sir: How do you know the religion you were taught is correct? How do you know The bible you follow was interpreted correctly? How do you know there is a hell? Do you truly believe that the one who created us judges homosexuals the same way he judges murderers? And if so does that make him a good creator? Do you believe that we are made in God’s image? Do you believe sexuality is a choice? If so if the Bible said heterosexuality was a sin could you make yourself be attracted to the same sex partner? I would like to hear your thoughts on these questions.
@@davidkarr5119 If someone told you there was a Hell and that your homosexual child was going to spend eternity there, and you believe that...then no, you could not be a loving or supportive parent.
This reminds me of the story I read about a dad who went to a Gay Pride parade and gave out over 700 hugs to people who had been rejected by their parents.
What a great Dad. I once bumped into my daughter in the middle of the night and she was wearing a t-shirt that said "Gay ok!" to which I said that's fine. She hurridly explained it was just a free t-shirt but I told her I wouldn't care anyway. She does now have a lovely boyfriend. All I wanted for her was someone who she loved and who loved her regardless of their sexual orientation, colour, age.
Narcissists are enabled by that kind of behavior. Just saying, most people are not altruistic. In fact, someone who is altruistic is probably not going to go out there and give out hugs because it is something that can be very self-serving.
My god, there aren't many videos I can genuinely say bring me to tears, but oh wow, this one has. What a wonderful, magnificent, lovely, giant-hearted hero that man is - who could ever ask for a more perfect parent. I am truly in awe.
To Chris and Wes, it’s 4 years later so wherever you both are, I hope you are together, strong, and happy. Chris, your dad is a remarkable, loving man and thank you for sharing this most special day with the TH-cam public. Blessings to you both. ❤️
I go back and watch this often. What an amazing father (mother) the love and acceptance they have for their son and the support they show him and his husband is just amazing. I cry every time I watch it. 💜
"We didn't know for sure where the road will gonna lead us, but we knew that if Chris were going on that path, he wouldn't go alone" I'm not crying. Not crying, no, no.
Hahaha, that is so typical of your hatred and grievance of God's law against same-gender sex you created nothing in the universe nor do you control anything in it you have no idea of how long you live nor of when you will die yet you have the foolishness to make demands. Since you don't want to be in heaven then you won't be there you and you won't ever exist again anyways which is the good news...😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
We could use a million more like you. The love in that room was palpable. With all of the hate around every corner, this made me cry and wonder how long it will be before I see it again.
As a young Mother of young children I can only hope that I can be even half as good of a loving and supportive man as this. What an extraordinary man. Chris and his new husband are extremely fortunate and I hope will always share the words of his incredibly wise Father. Congrats to the newlyweds! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My one concern is for my sons safety. I have seen first hand at the violence and hatred shown to my brother and his partner [ after a quiet night out] by a gang of men. My brother escaped with minor injuries because he could run faster however his partner not so lucky was very nearly killed , after a 4 months stay in a sanatorium he retuned home. It just breaks your heart.
If only the world could see through this wonderful dad's eyes, how great a view it would be .. prejudice free and acceptance of people for who they are.
I'm not gay but everybody has a right to what they want, and family should always support each other no matter what. Great man to have as a dad it seems and you should feel proud as well as lucky to have him as your dad. Congratulations on your wedding.
+Drui D. Thank you so much. We feel very blessed and hope his love and support will help to influence other parents who may be struggling with their own child's sexual orientation.
I feel really privileged to have listened to that, what an inspirational, amazing man....thank him for me....and thank you for sharing him to the world, goodness know's we need more like him.....
+joe gowdy Thank you, Joe. I am so happy that so many people are able to see and hear his amazing words of love and support. He's 80 years young when he's giving this speech, btw!!
That Dad was so up for the audience. His participation was on spot, his love...immense...You know why cause he just watched his Son marrying his Husband... xxx
+E Black Thank you! He's the best. That's why I'm hoping this video goes viral so other families can see the love he (and my mom) have. And how important this kind of support is...for all of us!
That has to have been the most beautiful most loving wedding speech I’ve ever heard. The father was amazing so much love to give I I’ve learned a lot from him. And he’s absolutely adorable to look at and listen to Chris is a lucky man to have a father like him.
It is nearly 5 years later and this video is bringing love and laughter to a bunch of strangers on TH-cam. How powerful is that? Thank you for sharing this with the world. We need this. Blessings.
What an incredible man. What every father should be like and I'm so glad that too had a similar father.He passed last november but I treasure every moment. Also, your father has to be the best comedian I have seen in ages.
This gentleman is AMAZING! This world needs more people with the kind heart, understanding and acceptance this gentleman. Congratulations to Chris and Wes on their marriage. Wishing you both a long and joy filled life.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This dad is awesome and knows how to give a powerful yet funny speech 😊..Bless the couple and this wonderful father and his lovely wife who has been married for over 55 years.
Amazing... I wish my family could have attained this kind of love and acceptance for my brother. I have not seen him for 29 years, even though I supported his coming out to me. If he had been able to come out to my family, my late Dad would have had a chance to step up to the plate like this dear , wonderful man in the video. Peace be with everyone.
I too took a different route than was planned. This speech really makes me appreciate why I put my folks thru, and I’m sure my dad will tell a similar story at my wedding. What an awesome family!
My son is gone _ he passed away. I wish I could help adult children know how much as parents we love you. We want nothing or No one to hurt you. We can't hold you any more but as parents we forever hold you in our heart and soul. Forever a mom.

I'm not gay but everybody has a right to what they want, and family should always support each other no matter what. Great man to have as a dad it seems and you should feel proud as well as lucky to have him as your dad. Congratulations on your wedding.
+Drui D. Thank you so much. We feel very blessed and hope his love and support will help to influence other parents who may be struggling with their own child's sexual orientation.
Thank you!! Love is love.
God also says (according to the Bible) that killing slaves (and having slaves) and raping your wife is okay. Cool moral standards you got.

That Dad was so up for the audience. His participation was on spot, his love...immense...You know why cause he just watched his Son marrying his Husband... xxx
This has to be the best wedding speech ever. I love this guy. Fantastic 👏 👏 👏 👏
Such a loving, accepting Father. Love the toast. Much love & happiness to Chris & Wes.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more perfect speech. If only all parents could be like this. Its just lovely and hopeful ❤
God bless his heart. Great to see a dad loving his kid no matter what....And is a badass as well
Evidently God blessed his heart log time ago!
Wonderful father! If my dad was around, this would have been his speech. He was quite a character!
+E Black Thank you! He's the best. That's why I'm hoping this video goes viral so other families can see the love he (and my mom) have. And how important this kind of support is...for all of us!
That has to have been the most beautiful most loving wedding speech I’ve ever heard. The father was amazing so much love to give I I’ve learned a lot from him. And he’s absolutely adorable to look at and listen to Chris is a lucky man to have a father like him.
It is nearly 5 years later and this video is bringing love and laughter to a bunch of strangers on TH-cam. How powerful is that? Thank you for sharing this with the world. We need this. Blessings.
Such "acceptance" and love for his son and husband. What a wonderful Dad.
Tears and chills washed over me….what a wonderful father this man is.❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was just beautiful to have his dad by his side to give a beautiful speech for his sons wedding
How many people come back once or twice a year and watch this!!? I just love it so much.
I predict this man will be a beacon to all fathers everywhere. Congratulations. You are one lucky guy and you have been blessed many times over.
He really is. So many people have been blessed by his intelligence and love. God bless.
He reminds me of my recently late father. Someone that loved me unconditionally.
@@malovela thank you
That ladies and gentlemen is a DAD.
+Norma Williams Couldn't agree more, Norma! Thank you!!
I'm in stitches and in tears watching this. I wholeheartedly agree!
Norma Owens /
AMEN ! To That Norma !
Some classic lines from him lol
What an incredible man. What every father should be like and I'm so glad that too had a similar father.He passed last november but I treasure every moment. Also, your father has to be the best comedian I have seen in ages.
That was just the most beautiful wedding toast I’ve ever heard!
This man has a beautiful soul & it's so unfortunate that there are not more in this world like him.
Well. Who could give a speech better than this one! Just beautiful and funny at the same time. May they be blessed with happiness and health!
So much better to give love than hate. The feeling that love like that gives you inside. Priceless.
This dad made me laugh & cry. What a loving dad and understanding. He’s lucky to have a father like him . God bless them all 💕👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What an amazing father!!
A true gentleman, with a pure heart and soul.
KILLER speech - love the father!!
This is perfection! I absolutely love this dad! If more parents were 1/2 as accepting as this one…it would be such a beautiful world!
This gentleman is AMAZING! This world needs more people with the kind heart, understanding and acceptance this gentleman. Congratulations to Chris and Wes on their marriage. Wishing you both a long and joy filled life.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I come back to this video every once in a while, just to give me dose of love and a boost of hope. What a tremendous speech, what a beautiful man.
This dad is awesome and knows how to give a powerful yet funny speech 😊..Bless the couple and this wonderful father and his lovely wife who has been married for over 55 years.
I scrolled down most of the comments and couldn't find a single hate one. Unless I missed it of course. This is how the world should be. ❤️💛💚💙💜
Shhh, you'll wake the sad lil' trolls with your positive feelings.
Couldn't agree more, Debra! It's a beautiful thing for sure! thank you!
there is somewhere, even if its not about them being gay.
AMEN❤️💛💚💙💜
You missed one idiot who made it about politics. But i'm happy for you that you did.
I can't stop watching this. It bring tears of joy to my eyes. 😢😢😢😢
Amazing... I wish my family could have attained this kind of love and acceptance for my brother. I have not seen him for 29 years, even though I supported his coming out to me.
If he had been able to come out to my family, my late Dad would have had a chance to step up to the plate like this dear , wonderful man in the video.
Peace be with everyone.
Find him. Go see him.
Go find him and tell him. It's never to late until one of you are gone.
Aw, amazing speech by that Dad! What a way to show your kid unconditional love.
I too took a different route than was planned. This speech really makes me appreciate why I put my folks thru, and I’m sure my dad will tell a similar story at my wedding. What an awesome family!
Bravo! This is what I call a dad! Love wins everything!!
That was a wonderful expression of love and acceptance from a father to his son. Just beautiful.
